This makes me think of an interesting point around the potential virus outbreak in the US.

If there is a non-trivial outbreak, then could it effectively be (for the US), not just a mass virus management exercise - but be followed by a mass-bankrupting due to medical expenses (which are already a big deal just for "normal" life events)
